Primeval gets second series

ITV's something's-killing-people-what-could-it-be oh-it's-another-dinosaur-fancy-that show has been recommissioned

ITV's attempt to "do a Doctor Who", Primeval, has bagged a second series. It's a bit corny, but we like dinosaurs, and we like gratuitous shots of that S Club bird in her undercrackers even more, so we're happy. Next year we'd like a stegosaurus episode, please.

Anyhow, here's a burst of official press release quotage from ITV's Director of Network Drama, Nick Elliott: "Primeval has had a wonderful response both from the public and from the press. We've opened up a new slot and a new family audience on a Saturday night for ITV and the decision to recommission was not a tough one. We're really looking forward to seeing blah blah blah you've probably stopped reading by now."
